A photo of Katlyn Proof in Point Park's maker space

When Katlyn Proof was deciding where she wanted to attend college, she looked at every aspect of Point Park University's School of Education. "I saw that they offered a summer field experience abroad program and student teaching abroad program in Ireland," she said. "I was like, 'I don't know how to get involved, or who I need to talk to, but I am doing that.'" This fall, the 2019 Steel Valley graduate will make her third trip to Ireland, this time through the inaugural Matt's Maker Space Fellowship Program at SEK International Dublin School. For a new educator with a passion for STEM, maker spaces, and Ireland, it's the perfect opportunity. Read more about Katlyn on the Point Park website.

In late August, Brandon Escobar will begin taking studying physical therapy at the Community College of Allegheny County. It’s a position he’d have never imagined being in several years ago as his grades languished. But thanks to the influence of teachers like Mr. Jeffrey Deabner, Mr. Larry McKern, and Mrs. Mariann Reilly, as well as a change in his own mindset, Escobar is on a new, positive path. He shared his story in the hopes that it'll help other students in need of a change.
